Protozoa (Protozoans)

“Protozoa”

In nature, Protozoa (Protozoans) are unicellular organisms in the Protozoa kingdom, often viewed as an animal-like protist, because they subsist entirely on other organisms for food. Most protozoans can move about on their own. *

In nature, Euglenozoa is a large unranked group of flagellated protozoans in the Excavata subgroup of unicellular eucaryotes within the Eukaryota superkingdom found in both free-living and parasitic forms.
Euglenozoa flagella are present in pairs and contain unique paraxonemal rods. In nature, the Protozoa (Protozoans) in the Protozoa Kingdom, consists predominantly of zooflagellate families and genera, with a minority only of phytoflagellate genera: the photosynthetic euglenoids are probably all descended from a non-photosynthetic euglenoid which acquired a photosynthetic endosymblont related to the ancestor of green algae.
The Protozoa (Protozoans) phylum (Euglenozoa) two major subgroups, the Euglenids and Kinetoplastids. Examples of Euglenozoa members include:

In nature, Protozoa (Protozoans) move around with whip-like tails called flagella, hair-like structures called cilia, or foot-like structures called pseudopodia, some do not move at all. Protozoa may be divided on the basis of their means of locomotion, a characteristic not representative to any genuine relationships:
